  1. 1 Kusatsu Onsen 9.04 /10
  2. 2 Beppu Onsen 8.72 /10

Measured by disclosed axes, not fame.

Three ways 10i.jp's rankings differ from an ordinary listicle.

  1. Axes and weights, disclosed every time

    How we measured is published in full, in the article itself — scoring table and sources included.

  2. Separating fame and sales from actual skill

    Conventional wisdom is a starting point, not a conclusion. Every upset comes with its reasons.

  3. Change the lens, recalculate

    Shift the weights and the order moves — the same scores, seen from a different angle.
